![]() ![]() The seller believes that the V8 lurking under the El Camino’s hood is the original 283ci with some “go-faster goodies.” I’m not convinced of that, although I’m unsure of what it actually is. It eventually emerged from hiding about a year ago, and the seller has returned it to a roadworthy state. His family left it largely untouched for the next decade, although they occasionally fired the engine to keep the fluids circulating. The previous owner slaved over the El Camino in his barn for 20-years, but then he passed away. A meticulous buyer would probably consider addressing those marks and refinishing the bed, but it could be left as-is for daily use. The bed wears a few dings and dents, but it still remains presentable. ![]() The trim and glass are in good condition, while the Rally wheels add a great finishing touch to the exterior. The panels are straight, with no dings or dents worth noting. There are some minor blemishes and marks, but if the car is considered a driver-grade classic, it is definitely acceptable. The Blue paint that it wears isn’t original, but the seller did treat it to a polish after it emerged from 30-years of hiding. The rest of the panels are clean, and it appears that the floors and frame are also good. However, its condition is above average, and the only rust that he identifies is some tiny bubbles on the driver’s side above the rear wheel arch. That is the case with the El Camino because he says that this is not the car for you if you are searching for a rotisserie-restored classic. ![]() I like it when a seller is candid about the car that they have listed for sale. I have to say a big thank you to Barn Finder Larry D for referring the Chevy to us. It is located in Meridian, Idaho, and with the bidding sitting at $10,300, the reserve has been met. Its current owner has decided to part with the El Camino, so he has listed it for sale here on eBay. It has been released from captivity and is plying our roads once again. His family inherited it, but it remained hidden away for a further decade. Its previous owner worked on it in his barn for around 20-years, but sadly, he passed away. This 1964 Chevrolet El Camino appears to have had an interesting past. ![]()
